How to update pregnancy delivery date on CA SDI claim? EDD contact issues

Omg yes! I swear I hear that music in my nightmares now 😂

Plot twist: it's actually a secret code. If you decipher it, you automatically get your benefits 🕵️‍♀️

Haha, maybe the music is there to keep us calm during the long wait!

Sign me up! I'll bring the tissues for when we inevitably start crying 😭

Lmao I'm in. We can call it "EDD Anonymous" 🤣

First meeting: "Hi, my name is [redacted] and it's been 3 days since my last failed attempt to contact EDD" 😂

This sounds therapeutic! We need all the camaraderie we can get.

I volunteer as tribute! Take me instead of the goat! 🙋‍♂️

Nah, we need something more powerful. Maybe if we sacrifice our last shred of sanity, they'll finally answer the phone 🤪

If only it were that easy, right? 😂

Lol, that's actually a great idea. Maybe I'll finally organize my baby stuff while I wait!

This is the way. I've started learning a new language during my EDD hold times. Might be fluent in Spanish by the time I get my claim sorted 🇪🇸😂

Turning hold time into productive time is genius!

Thank you so much for the detailed instructions! I'll definitely try this tomorrow morning. You're a lifesaver! 🙏

This is gold! Saving this for later. Thanks for sharing your wisdom 💯

I tried this method last week and it worked! Only had to wait 30 mins. You da real MVP 🏆

These step-by-step instructions are incredibly helpful. I wish EDD guidance was always this clear!

Clown show is right! 🎪 Sometimes I wonder if they're just a bunch of monkeys throwing darts at a board to decide who gets help.

LOL that would explain a lot actually. Maybe we should send them some bananas to improve service 🍌🐒

It feels like a constant run-around. It's important we keep sharing solutions and ideas.

I tried that first, but for some reason it wouldn't let me change the delivery date online. Thanks for the suggestion tho!

Same here. The online system is so glitchy, I swear it's designed to make us give up 🙄

I had success updating other details online, but I guess it depends on the specific type of update needed.

Solid advice, they always seem to need something extra!

Aww, thank you! That's so sweet. It's definitely been a rollercoaster, but I'm trying to stay positive. 🤰

This community support is wonderful. Hang in there, OP!

Faxing? What year is it? 😂 But seriously, I might give it a shot if I can't get through on the phone. Do you know the fax number?

lmao i know right? but desperate times call for desperate measures 🤷‍♂️ i think its on their website somewhere

Fax might seem outdated, but it's been a lifesaver when digital methods fail. Worth keeping in mind.

Hey now, don't insult toddlers like that. They could probably design a better site 😜

It's baffling how outdated it feels. We deserve a better system!

Wow, really? That sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

$20 just to talk to someone? That's ridiculous. The system is so broken 🤦‍♀️

I know it sounds crazy, but I was desperate and it actually worked for me. Saved me hours of frustration. Just sharing what helped me out!

I used Claimyr as well, and it was pretty effective. The investment was worth it, given the time and sanity saved. However, I can understand how the fee might not be feasible for everyone.

This! My friend did this and got her issue resolved in like a week. Def worth a shot.

I hadn't even thought of that. Thanks for the tip! I'll look up my assembly member now.

Involving local representatives can sometimes expedite the process, especially in complex situations.

Ikr? It's like they don't want us to get our benefits. Hang in there!

thanks fam. we're all in this struggle together i guess 😩

It feels endless, but hopefully persistence will pay off for us all!

This is solid advice! Early morning calls have been my best bet too.
